Hi Guys!
I know many of you enjoyed the Bestiary cards that I once had. Those were a limited edition and are since long sold out and gone!
But myself and our friend Vantid/Amber Hill have been a part of a new project called the Endangered Ark!
The Endangered Ark playing cards:
From the site:
This project started with a vision; a compilation of artwork that would help spread awareness of some of the earth’s endangered treasures. A way to educate people about these amazing creatures and support causes that are fighting for their survival.
Hence, Endangered Ark was born. The word Ark comes from the Latin word arca meaning box or chest; a container to house precious objects. It also carries he connotation of Noah’s Ark – ferrying animals for the survival of their species. What better term for this collection of wonderful art cards?
There are two ways to get the cards. You can either order a pre-sale from the people running this program. The money from the pre-sales funds the operating costs of the cards and 10% is donated to animal charity. The artists do not get this money.
Or, once the cards come out in May, you can purchase card decks from the artists that created them (including myself). Most artists are pledging to donate 10% of their sales to animal charities as well (I am). As a side note, the pre-orders on the Endangered Ark site have nothing to do with me– you are ordering from the people running the project. If you order form me, or Vantid, or any other artist in May then you are dealing with that person and I bet they’d hand sign your cards for you! I will be if you ask. 🙂So– either way– you are helping! So the choice is yours if you want a deck.

My art: featherdust.comMarch 5, 2009 at 5:25 pm #753400What a great idea! I need to check into getting myself a deck.
I love the 2 cards you did Jennifer. They’re both gorgeous! I especially love the owl though. 🙂March 5, 2009 at 5:39 pm #753401I’ll order from you or amber. just remember to let us know when you get them. Laurie 😉
March 5, 2009 at 10:35 pm #753402Wonderful! Put me down for a deck. I’d prefer to order from one of you two. 😳
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

Ditto!!
March 5, 2009 at 11:54 pm #753404The cards in that deck are awesome! I love both of the cards you did. That owl is just beautiful and I love how all the greens on that Quetzel (and the forest around it) are so vibrant and ‘alive’ (I like green) :}. I would certainly like to get a deck from you as well. 🙂 *passes link regarding deck and project to friends*

Yes, my ‘payment’ for working on this deck is to only get 10 decks per card of the limited edition decks, so 20 decks.

Ah, OK, thank you for the response.March 9, 2009 at 7:18 am #753409I ordered a deck directly from the website on Friday. I’m really bummed now that I missed out on the Bestiary deck…
